you forget you said that? you said the regulator reduces the current to protect the diodes... ***WRONG*** then had the ballz to ask me how voltage can hurt a diode...???
Lol! You are showing that you have no idea what you are talking about. The regulator does reduce the voltage to protect the diodes. The higher the voltage, the more current can be drawn through them but you do not understand the relationship between voltage and current. You never answered because you do not know that voltage cannot hurt a diode. Only current can, which is why the voltage is lowered by the regulator to reduce the current passing through them protecting them. It's all very simple but you're too stubborn to admit you're wrong even after being PROVED wrong. Several times.

as has been proven you do not have a clue about a cars alternator in regards to the regulator... you may know field related stuff but as far as cars go you are dense as a brick in the mud...
I have more than a clue. I know how they work inside and out. YOU are the one that has no idea. I have provided AMPLE evidence and links etc to how car alternator voltage regulators work. You have lied about it and you are too stubborn to admit you are wrong... but unfortunately for you that is not required. You have already been proved as such.

 
One of them OBVIOUSLY is. It says so in the title and link. lol LIAR
sigh... fine...

Voltage regulator nothing at all to do specifically with a cars alternator.. just basic info and almost word for word what was in the wiki link...

Learning How Voltage Regulators Work more of the same nearly word for word again... nothing car specific whatsoever....again...

Diagram External Car Alternator Voltage Regulator - DATASHEET and Circuit Diagram all of these in this link refer to IC circuits used in small electronics... only 1 says it is 12v capable and it is the 1 i posted earlier..

Now look a little deeper and find out what regulators are used in car alternators //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif There is a reason "car alternator" is in the title there. 2 of 3 are used. You're the one making the claim that they are not. The title of at least one proves they are. I know 2 of 3 of them are, but you are saying they are not so prove it.

Look pal, you've been proven wrong on literally everything you've said. I provided links to things you said yesterday that were hilariously wrong and showed you learned and lied about it today. I have proved that what you said about adding a million batts will fix dimming is wrong, and now I have proved that you don't even know how alternators work. I have proved time and time again that you are a stubborn, ignorant, person who refuses to admit when he is wrong despite how badly he has been proved. LOL! I think you think if you just keep posting you will magically be right somehow. Well sorry dude, but the last post in the thread doesn't defeat every piece of evidence prodivided within. You're just sad man. really.

 
Because I'm not wrong. Who said anything about undercurrent?Literally nothing I said reinforces anything you said. They all prove you horribly wrong.

but the very next post was you...

I'll concede that one.Disprove all of them.
Also, if they reinforce your point, why are you trying to prove them wrong? Lol you're an idiot.

lied? I posted cut and paste info... you refuted it...and then disproved all of your "proof" you have no proof because everything you find agrees with me

A CARS VOLTAGE REGULATOR DOES NOT HAVE LOW VOLTAGE LIMITS... ONLY HIGH VOLTAGE LIMITS

THE DIODES IN THE REGULATOR ( 3 POS AND 3 NEG USUALLY ) EACH HELP CONVERT AC TO DC ...

you got it now?

 
but the very next post was you...
1 source was not a car alt. i conceded it. It didn't make me wrong on the entire point.

lied? I posted cut and paste info... you refuted it...and then disproved all of your "proof" you have no proof because everything you find agrees with me
You posted things that didn't say something doesn't exist. I posted info to prove it does. Now you're lying about it.

You just lied there. EVERYTHING you posted said an alt has low voltage limits and raises the voltage to compensate. MAN you're an idiot. You confuse voltage and current all the time because you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

 
I am done your a wall...

you think you know but got so twisted up in it trying to bash me that you let it go to your head too much dude //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I know what I know is right whether I word it right or not is irrelevant to the issue...

you have contradicted yourself over and over...

car alternator regulators do just what i said they did...end of story...

c'ya dude //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif got better things to do than argue with you...

You contradicted YOURSELF over and over and I quoted and proved it. I have YET to do it. You just don't understand so you THINK I did... but I did not. Good riddance idiot.

where did I ever say it has low voltage limits... you are confusing what you said with me...

quote me where I ever said it...

no I didn't show me 1 time other than the 1 i conceded already where I misworded something...show me dude... I showed where you did when I accused you of it..

and btw... name calling? really? you are really uptight over this? really dude? sad... reallllly sad..

you are more than likely correct in how a regulator works in regards to "YOUR" field but this is car electronics 101:
The Voltage Regulator

The voltage regulator can be mounted inside or outside of the alternator housing. If the regulator is mounted outside (common on some Ford products) there will be a wiring harness connecting it to the alternator.

The voltage regulator controls the field current applied to the spinning rotor inside the alternator. When there is no current applied to the field, there is no voltage produced from the alternator. When voltage drops below 13.5 volts, the regulator will apply current to the field and the alternator will start charging. When the voltage exceeds 14.5 volts, the regulator will stop supplying voltage to the field and the alternator will stop charging. This is how voltage output from the alternator is regulated. Amperage or current is regulated by the state of charge of the battery. When the battery is weak, the electromotive force (voltage) is not strong enough to hold back the current from the alternator trying to recharge the battery. As the battery reaches a state of full charge, the electromotive force becomes strong enough to oppose the current flow from the alternator, the amperage output from the alternator will drop to close to zero, while the voltage will remain at 13.5 to 14.5. When more electrical power is used, the electromotive force will reduce and alternator amperage will increase. It is extremely important that when alternator efficiency is checked, both voltage and amperage outputs are checked. Each alternator has a rated amperage output depending on the electrical requirements of the vehicle.
There ya go bub

I've done it all throughout this thread man. I'm not going to continue to repost it. I listed it a few posts back etc. I just proved you wrong AGAIN.

Also, it't not name calling if it's true man. Sorry but I always call a horse a horse. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck.. must be a duck. Don't get offended. It's just the truth.

 
There ya go bub
wrong again dude.... learn english...

no where in that post does it say it controls the "low voltage" or cuts out if the voltage drops...

i said the regulator has a high voltage limit not a low voltage and used that as evidence to that... you said the opposite.. so how does that do anything but reinforce exactly what I said....

reread your own bolded text dude... you really need to learn english....

It's right there in black and white. LOL!!! How are you going to lie about that?
